Truth

Please note. Especially during the pandemic.

Language acquisition is not the same for everyone & it’s not linear. Proficiency w listening, speaking, reading, & writing in a new language fluctuates for many reasons incl background knowledge, lived experiences, motivation, desire, & cognitive load. #ESL #ESOL #ELD #ENL

When grade 6-8 students at Blessed Carlo Acutis CES joined a @JeanneSauveHP Kindergarten class it was pure joy! Learning was alive & active as everyone engaged in a virtual, interactive experience of original stories, puppet shows, games, music & interactive surprises. Huron-Perth CDSB

This is so true! 🙌
